Pricing for chess coaches

I don't think a 800 chess.com rated player is "intermediate".

Hi just wanted to let everyone know

1. PercivalFigaro is the only one to actually answer my question on the forum. 

 

2.  ArmaSecreta is a highly qualified chess coach that gave me free lesson, a free weeks trial to a chess coaching website, and is within the price range I was looking for. I wouldhighely suggest him for anyone looking for a coach. 

I found coaches around that price who were qualified. I updated my op. 

 

Thanks a lot IronCricket! I am still taking students if anyone is interested.

You can find me on Lichess as LicHerrera.

I learned from every day solving, reading, and playing. If I tell the book titles and my chess routine  is that considered chess coaching. I want to coach in low prices, I do not know if I am qualified. I cannot teach one on one. I believe improvement comes from everyday alone effort.

On the contrary: the weaker coaches make it seem as if they know it all and strong grandmasters often truthfully say "I do not know".

Michael Jordon was a great basketball player, but he was a mediocre coach. Phil Jackson was a mediocre basketball player but a great coach. Playing and coaching are two different skills.

Hello! We have an excellent coach now but she is available only in mornings. So we are looking for an additional second coach for evenings (715pm-900pm EST in USA).

We will be looking for longterm lessons and approximately 150 hours of tutoring. (2-3 hours per week for a year).

Coach will be working with child on strategy, tactics etc.

Ideally, coach is:

Lighthearted, funny
Not too serious
Good English
Very good with children
Not too interested in ratings/competition (we focus on learning and enjoyment instead)
Emphasizes effort not “smartness” of chess moves

Coach doesn’t need to be Master etc. Just a very good teacher.

Compensation negotiable and to be paid weekly before each classes. Prefer PayPal or some easy way to pay.

Thanks!
